It's the same as when you wrap the handle on a sword; but instead of using a sword I used my bike.

Oh, and since it needs to be outside in weather, use strips of rubber inner tubes instead of cloth ribbon.
And since you need to be seen at night, use retroreflective tape instead of sharkskin.

Arrrrgh!
I've only recently come to grips with so many people using the word "alloy" when they mean "aluminum". Steel, by definition, is an alloy of iron and carbon.
Now you're making a differentiation between "metal" and "aluminum alloy". Aluminum alloy is, by definition, a metal.

My intent was to refer to replacing all metal parts with ones that have a "natural" aluminum alloy finish instead of the black anodizing that has become the norm for every metal part on a bike today.
